9.1 Application Information

The LM4060 shunt voltage reference with high accuracy and high sink current capabilities is suitable reference for multiple applications. The device can be used as a precision high accuracy low noise voltage reference for data converters or level shifting circuits for signal chains. With the LM4060 50mA capabilities, the device can be the voltage reference and the power supply to sensor or data converter instead of traditional LDO or DC/DC based power supply. As a shunt voltage reference, the LM4060 can be powered from any voltage rail greater than VR with proper resistor sizing including 12V supply rails.
